Men's Designer Clothing - Evolution
Men's
clothing evolved from fur and animal skin to the new generation
outfits. With Centuries passing though, men's clothing assumed a new
significance with changing circumstances. Men's clothing became a
signature for social status. Decade's later man found the means to
bridge his geographical gap with his neighbors through the platform
of Fashion.
It is said
that men's clothing became as diverse as the different cultures
around the world. The Scottish wore tartans and kilts, Chinese men
wore court dresses; Filipinos used fabric woven from pineapple fiber.
Because of this diversity of taste, culture and style, trends emerged
and fashion as a unifying institution was born.
Amidst this
celebration of diversity around the world, haute
couture emerged. This gave men's fashion a individual
distinction- a separation from the rest, not dictated by social
status, or profession or taste, rather by preferences.
Men's clothing became a form of expressing their Identity.
How a man saw
himself was ultimately reflected on his dressing. As life became more
and more complex and fast-paced, element of comfort was soon
incorporated into men's clothing. A mantra became popular 'Looking
good became as important as feeling good'. Modern lifestyles required
clothes that did not require tedious caring, ironing and special cleaning.
In response to
this need and as an impact of capitalism and trade, consumerism
nurtured the discoveries and inventions of fabrics
and process of cloth making. Nylon, Polyester and Lycra are man made
synthetics that replaced natural fibers
